San Francisco, CA, September 10, 2006 - Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) is addressing the growing interest in biology-based synthesis by making access to information on enzymatic reactions and other biotransformations easy to find through its SciFinder research tool. A new audience of researchers eager to go beyond traditional synthetic processes has found a wealth of information in the literature and patent records in CAS databases. CAS demonstrated SciFinder and its biotech applications during the American Chemical Society national meeting held in San Francisco, September 10 though 14.
